Is it possible to get a HTML or plaintext version for people who don't just run any non-free JS[1]?

Why not, I've been meaning to work on my vim macros.

No guarantee that this is up to date[1] (or even error free).

I realize that Github Gists are also not Open Source, but they render without Javascript enabled, and Simplenote was acting up for me and wouldn't let me publish.

Thanks. (Viewable without non-free JS is fine)


would you be willing to pay for a proxy service that took a url that used non-free JS and rendered it to pure dom that you could then view without JS ?

any sense of whether other people that care about such things would be willing to pay ?


Interesting idea, but I don't think anyone would pay for it. From a freedom perspective it would probably be considered SaaSS[0]. You could use wkhtmltopdf[1] for a service like that.

These questions don’t work.

isn't that close to what Reader Mode does?


I would also like a text or plain html version of the list.
